The Naturist Talks: Raven from Canada

The Naturist Talks: Raven from Canada

One of the main reasons why we started this project is to show the world that naturists are not some strange dark commune but that actually everyone could be one… Or could enjoy being one if they took the first step.   Our main example of “everyone” is of course ourselves, we write posts about naturism in general but also about our own experiences. But some of you might be thinking “Yes sure, those two … Read more

Naturist campground Arnaoutchot in Vieille-Saint-Girons, France

Review: Arnaoutchot in Vieille-Saint-Girons, France

For the next stop on our little “Tour de France”, we drove further south towards a department called Landes, another popular tourist destination at the Bay of Biscay. We were on our way towards Vielle-Saint-Girons in the south-west corner of the regional park. The colorful ride could have been reason enough to visit the area but of course, we came here to visit naturist camping Arnaoutchot (or shortly: Arna). We had been told that Arna … Read more

Why do teenagers turn away from nudism and is that such a big deal

Why do teenagers turn away from nudism and is that such a big deal?

Toddlers are born naturists and not only literally (although they’re obviously delivered naked). In fact, they might well be the most genuine kind of naturist there is, they don’t even question their nudity. Most of them will question clothes though and if they see an opportunity to get rid of them they’ll often take advantage of that. Our memory doesn’t go that far back, but we would like to remember the day when being nude … Read more

CHM Monta in Vendays-Montalivet, France

Review: CHM Monta in Vendays-Montalivet, France

The origin of naturism has been subject to a lot of debate. Many historians who studied the lifestyle will point out a period in the early 20th century when the German Dr Heinrich Scham wrote the book Nacktkultur. Some, however, say it started already during the industrial revolution when a Belgian guy first used the term “naturism”. And others will tell you that it was way earlier, during Roman times when naked sports were more … Read more

Review: Euronat in Grayan-l'Hopital, France

Review: Euronat in Grayan-l’Hopital, France

When people talk about going to the south of France, immediately the Mediterranean coast pops into mind. The mild weather, the long beaches where bikini tops have always been a rarity, places like Nice, Cannes, and Saint Tropez where half of Hollywood has a boat in the harbor and of course the world-famous naturist destination Cap d’Agde. We often forget that the south of France has another coast, the Atlantic one, which is (at least … Read more

24 hours naked in Paris

24 Hours naked in Paris

We love city tripping. A couple of days away exploring a different culture, tasting different foods and watching life from a terrace with some craft beers or local wines… Who doesn’t like that? Some time ago, these kinds of vacations were hard to combine with a nakation. But nowadays the cities start to see the advantages of also providing options for the naturist traveller who wants just that little bit more. Paris, which happens to … Read more

INF World Congress in Lisbon 2018

That time at the INF World Congress

More than often we have been aiming our arrows towards the INF-FNI (International Naturist Federation), we complained about their inability to modernise and worried about whether one day it will all fall apart. Most of all we wondered what they are actually doing for the naturists or naturism in general. Over the years we’ve sent them several e-mails to which we never received a response and so we just criticised them a little more. As … Read more

O'Naturel: The first naked restaurant in Paris

O’Naturel: The first naked restaurant in Paris – CLOSED

UNFORTUNATE NEWS: The owners of O’Naturel have announced that the restaurant will shut down on February 16th 2019.   Because the weather in Canada started to turn cold and grey, our time to move on had come. Less than twelve hours after we boarded the plane in Montreal we touched ground in one of Europe’s most amazing cities. Although a good nap sounded like a great way to get rid of our jet lag, we … Read more

Dear Facebook, we thought we had friends

If you’ve ever tried to post nude photos on Facebook, you already know what we’re talking about. Social media censorship is a pain in the naked behind of all promotors of naturism because it became pretty much impossible to appear naked on Facebook. For us it’s not any different. Our hate-love relationship with Facebook is certainly not a secret… Well… love… Years ago we thought that Facebook was one of the best inventions after the … Read more
